🌲🌊 Mugecuo Lake (木格措) — Highland Gem Near Kangding

If you’re visiting Kangding, Mugecuo Lake (also called Kangding Love Song Scenic Area) is a must-see. Tucked in the alpine valleys at 3700m altitude, it offers breathtaking lake views surrounded by snow-capped peaks, especially beautiful during summer. 💨 Weather matters here — even in July, mornings can be chilly and fog or strong winds can roll in quickly. When that happens, the sightseeing boats stop operating, so time your visit wisely. 🚡 Take the scenic tram ride up and enjoy panoramic views before heading down to the lakeside trails. Yak and horse riding are available along the trails. 📸 Whether you’re snapping photos of mirror-like reflections or just breathing in crisp mountain air, it’s a peaceful, photogenic escape from the city. ✅ Tips: • Dress in layers (even in summer!) • Bring water and sunblock • Arrive early to avoid clouds and crowds #summervacay #mugecuolake #kangding #garze #sichuantravel #alpinelake #hiddenchina #chinascenery #mountainlake #chengdugetaway #ganzitravel #natureescape #tibetanplateau #川西小众景点
